Hello Monday and welcome Winter Storm Fern. Okay, I’m not sure she was actually welcomed around here but, either way, she showed up! Just as predicted, I might add. Started with several inches of snow and then several hours of sleet/freezing rain on top of the snow. Not a pretty…

Hello Friday…and hello to Friday with Friends! I’m genuinely happy you came by the blog today. I hope you will join in the conversation. But, before I get to my question, or food for thought (pun totally intended), I have to address two things. One, of course, is the forecast. …

The First Hodge Podge of 2026
Happy Wednesday….and what is quickly becoming happy Hodge Podge day. Hodge Podge is Joyce’s weekly link-up. I do not typically join every week (why? I have no idea) but I thought it would be a good way to keep this “return to regular programming” going with the blog. It was…
